SEAT FOR RELIEVING PILES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 685,989, dated November 5, 1901. Application filed May 24, 1901. Serial No. 61,789- (No model.)

To 66 whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, PETER KENDRICK, a citizen of the United States, residing at Trenton, in the county of Mercer and State of New Jersey, have invented a Seat for Relieving Piles, of which the following is a specification.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a top plan view of myimproved seat. Fig. 2 is an end elevation, and Fig. 3 is a side elevation thereof.

To put my invention into practice, I provide a suitable base-board A, and upon this I mount the anal pad or projection B. This pad I have found produces better results if made in a substantially rectangular form, as shown in the drawings, and may he made solid or hollow, as may be required, according to the material of which it is composed. When composed of metallic material, the structure may be lightened by constructing the pad hollow, either with open or closed ends, and when composed of clay, rubber, celluloid, fiber, or the like the pad may, for the purpose of giving the same the desired strength, be constructed solid. While the pad is preferably made substantially rectangular in form, the sides thereof curve toward the top, and the top is rounded, as fully shown in the drawings. Where the pad is constructed of metallic material, the same may be struck up from a metallic plate securely fastened to the base A in any suitable manner. In the formation of the pad from any material the same is preferably constructed with a plate, such as O, for securing the same to a suitable base.

In the use of the device by sitting on seat and placing pad B about two inches from the rectum and bearing all the weight on that side it forces the flesh toward the rectum, at the same time forcing the piles into the rectum.

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a device of the character described, a base-board, a plate secured thereto, and a rectangular anal pad of a size adapted to fit the rectum having a rounded top carried by said plate and adapted to receive the rectum for the purpose described.

2. In a device of the character described, a base-board, a plate carried thereby, and a hollow rectangular anal pad of a size adapted to fit the rectum having a rounded top adapted toreceive the rectum for the purpose described.

PETER KENDRICK.
